@LMK74 welcome to the forum . I have only just joined and already in a few days have received such encouragement from the ladies. It sounds like you have been through a very tough time. You have to give yourself credit. When you get diagnosed you get the fight or flight . I was diagnosed on the 28.11.2012 with a 7cm tumour stage 3 with sentinel node involvement and had a left mastectomy and 15 nodes removed because the margins weren't clear. I went through 3 months chemo first to see if they could shrink my tumour as was too close to the margins and then mastectomy in March 20 2013, had an infection and couldn't start the next 3 months chemo until 9 weeks and then 3 months of chemo again and 4 weeks later 6 weeks radiation again. I have been back st work for 3 years now 32.Narch 2013 and next week see a surgeon re my reconstruction.
For me I found Taxol pretty tough and got pretty bad neuropathy in my feet and hands. Going through chemo I was determined to stay positive and always dressed brightly even if underneath I was not feeling it.
I too had lost my sister previously at 47 only 2 year older than me with breast cancer and was determined in my mind I was not going to give in. I have an identical twin sister it was tough on her so I made sure I worked on positive thinking. Chemo was pretty good. First week was tough but had no sickness . AC was so much better than Taxol but still had a few moments.
I always think god gives his toughest battles to his strongest soldiers and all of us going through this are soldiers.
Wishing you all the best . You sound like an amazing fighter after all the hurdles you have overcome.
